That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
Original lifeline.

Hey, look up!
Don’t make a shadow of yourself,
Always shutting out the light.
Caught in your own creation.
Look up, look up!
It tore you open
And oh, how much!

‘Cause there’s a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don’t know why

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
Original lifeline.

Hey, look up!
You don’t have to be a ghost,
Here amongst the living.
You are flesh and blood!
And you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given.
And oh, how much!

‘Cause there’s a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don’t know why.

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
Original lifeline.

‘Cause there’s a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don’t know why.

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
That original lifeline.

‘Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you

But your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you

I am the same, I’m the same
I’m trying to change.
I am the same, I’m the same
I’m trying to change.
I am the same, I’m the same
I’m trying to change!

‘Cause there’s a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don’t know why.

I am the same, I’m the same
(That original lifeline)
I’m trying to change.
(Original lifeline)
I am the same, I’m the same
(Original lifeline)
I’m trying to change.
(That original lifeline)
I am the same, I’m the same
(Original lifeline)
I’m trying to change

Oh Lord, won’t you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to thee
And oh Lord, won’t you leave me
Leave me just like this?
Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
